Not sure how the Lakers compete in this one. Appears that Kobe and Wesley Johnson will have to play 48 minutes each. Injuries and media BS already hurting the Lakers before the season even starts. Lakers will just not be able to play the entire game at the same level the rockets will because of major depth issues. New lakers team and system vs a rockets team that has looked very crisp all preseason. Expect the rockets to once again put up 130 points in the staples center.

How about Idiot of the day? Its Houston -6 not +6. Can you give us a breakdown of how you got this "pick of the day". Dont be surprise if Lakers cover this game. Jeremy Lin will spread the ball well for the lakers and get a double double. The better bet is the over IMHO.

Not necessarily a big Kobe fan, but not necessarily a big fan of his pundits either, so on a positive more mature note I might add that if Kobe can provide a more pivotal role within this seemingly blue collar organization, there may very well be room for impact.

Harden does not like Kobe, stems from his OKC days. Harden loves talking trash to Kobe and making him and the Lakers look bad. Howard's history with the Lakers will motivate him to play well. Ariza, who is also a former Laker, will also be motivated to play well. Rockets have a better supporting cast and are playing much better as a team. I'm betting the Rockets will cover the 6.

Jeremy Lin and Kobe will pull off the upset Lakers win straight up don't need no stinking points.

Yes I'm a laker fan but I'm realistic if anything this team will be fighting for 8th in the West but that's not gonna happen this year I think the injury bug hits them (hell its already hit them). But in this spot after all that was said about the Lakers and Kobe all off season and even more so recently. Kobe will find a way to win this game and Howard will find a way to choke the game away. Its only 1 of 82 but bad teams can get some unexpected wins early in the NBA season.
